Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BMC AMI Data is a sort of not a product but as a mindset for running critical data systems at very large scale. Large companies like us utilise it because small data mistakes = huge business losses. As product manager at Tata Cliq I often deals with sales report delay , sometimes stock mismatches, we flash sales which need quick tracking so there are various works which BMC AMI Data helps in doing in a snap. Now I get fast data access, and can see the automated queries , live status of inventory at time. So for me it's a bit difficult to understand first but when your hands are getting smooth you get a great advantage of managing huge numbers and data.

Pros

  • Automated Sales Dashboards
  • Flash sales automated queries
  • Real time inventory and sales visibility

Cons

  • Opening heavy sheets takes lot of time need good internet connection
  • Improvement required in end to end automation

Return on Investment

  • Number of ver less error in data leads to a great profit
